Re: The Forey Residence, 1755 West Gore Creek Drive
Vail Village West Filing No. 2, Lot 6
Dear Gordon, Daniel and Karen:
On August 15, 2002 a letter was sent to you regarding violations at the above-mentioned address. Enclosed, please find a copy of that letter. To date, you have failed to resolve these
issues. The Town of Vail feels that we have been amicable in trying to work with all parties involved but now must take the next step which involves enforcement of the Town Code and
Development Standards being violated.
Here are the issues that need to be addressed:
Your heated driveway does not have a separate zone for the section located in the Town’s right-of-way. You will need to get a Revocable Right-of-Way Permit from Public Works. There
may be other conditions as well.
You “shot-creted” over a previously existing timber retaining wall. You need to submit a stamped, Professionally Engineered drawing of the wall. If this cannot be attained, you will
need to find a solution which is agreeable to the Town of Vail. There may be other conditions for approval of this wall as well.
You have built patios in the flood plain and in the 50 ft. Gore Creek setback. According to your approved plans, no work was to be done in the area below the driveway. These must be
removed immediately.
You have no Temporary Certificate of Occupancy or Certificate of Occupancy for this residence. At this time, we are not asking that the residence be vacated.
Section 12-3-10 of the Town Code states, in part, that:
Not Exclusive: In case any building or structure is erected, structurally altered, extended, moved or maintained, or any building, structure or land is used in violation of this Title,
any person may file a written complaint in the Town Municipal Court alleging said violation. The filing of a complaint to the Municipal Court shall be an additional remedy, and shall
not preclude the imposition of any other civil or administrative action or sanction.
Liability: The owner or general agent of a building or premises where a violation of any provisions of this Title has been committed or shall exist, or the lessee or tenant of an entire
building or entire premises where such general agent, lessee or tenant of any part of the building or premises in which such violation has been committed or shall exist, or the general
agent, architect, builder, contractor or any other person who commits, takes part in, or who assists in any such violation or who maintains any building or premises in which any such
violation shall exist, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and subject to penalty as provided in Section 1-4-1 of this Code for each and every day that such violation continues. The correction
of a violation shall not restrain imposition of these penalties. Each day such violation continues shall constitute a separate violation. (1997 Code: Ord. 50(1978) § 22)
Please remedy this situation within 15 calendar days of receipt of this letter. Failure to do so will result in a summons being issued.
Your prompt attention regarding this matter will be greatly appreciated and will help assure that Vail continues to be the desirable and pleasant resort community for which we all strive.
Please feel free to call me with any questions, comments or concerns you may have. My office phone number is 970-477-3417.
Thank you,
David Rhoades, Code Enforcement Officer
Town of Vail, Dept. of Community Development
